| contents | Library of Congress Classification Adapted for Children's Books, Second Edition. Perkins, John W. And Others Books Childrens Literature Classification Library of Congress Classification Library Technical Processes Subject Index Terms This publication presents a book classification system which is adapted from the Library of Congress classification and is designed especially for children's books. The classification system was developed to prepare children to use adult materials (employing Library of Congress classification) by means of a gradual transition, provide a system easier for children to understand than the Dewey Decimal classification, and more closely reflect the subject matter of children's books. The classification system could be easily expanded as required, and its use would cause a mandatory re-evaluation of children's subject materials. The system retains a close relationship to the original Library of Congress classification system and employs one or two letter subclasses with numbers as required. The classification system is supplemented by a comprehensive list of index headings arranged alphabetically. Index headings are also arranged by classification so as to illustrate subject groupings of each subclass. There is also a section on suggestions and recommendations for spine labels and special collections. (A similar classification for children's sound recordings is LI 004 322.) (Author/SJ) |
